The Coronavirus continues to influence every area of our
life and as an astrologer I am always looking to the planets for insight and
hope. On March 27, 2020, Venus in Taurus
trines Jupiter in Capricorn in 23 degrees of their respective signs. This is an especially delightful aspect
because it tends to attract optimism, good cheer, luck, and has a tendency to
bring love and harmony to relationships.
I have high hopes for this aspect because the moon in
Taurus is sextiling both Mercury and Neptune in Pisces on the 27th,
which holds the potential for some good news to be announced. I have this aspect natally with my natal Venus
in Scorpio trining my Jupiter in Cancer.
I can tell you from personal experience that it confers the qualities of
creativity, honesty, loyalty and a strong moral compass. It also makes you very fond of the good life
to the point that it gives a keen appreciation of the finer things in life like
the arts, music, and socializing. And I
find it supremely ironic that we are feeling extremely blocked right now in
terms of being able to enjoy these things due to the Coronavirus. One of the perks of this aspect is that it
tends to mitigate any hardships that we encounter in life and we really need
that right now. The Venus Jupiter trine
activates my natal Chiron in 24 degrees of Capricorn in my 4th house
and my natal Venus in 24 degrees of Scorpio in my 2nd house with a
sextile from Jupiter in Capricorn and an opposition from Venus in Taurus. Like everyone else these days, I am feeling
the effects of staying home and am learning new ways to reach out to
others. I have been on Zoom twice in the
past week and know that it will become a new routine in my life to connect with
others.
Mars, the planet of action and desire, is moving into the
fixed air sign of Aquarius on March 30, 2020 until May 13, 2020. This could indicate a break for all of us
after the heavy belt of Capricorn energy that has characterized 2020 so
far. Mars in Aquarius has dynamic yet
erratic energy levels. Don’t forget that
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, so we could be in for more disruptions. Mars in Aquarius expresses anger in a more
impersonal manner. I know this first
hand because I have a natal Mars in Aquarius in my 4th house. But the silver lining with Mars in Aquarius
is that it has a real team player vibe and we can approach problems from an
intellectual and detached perspective. The
transit of Mars in Aquarius represents an opportunity to fight for collective
endeavors and it may serve us well in the battle against the Coronavirus. Mars in Aquarius is very future oriented and
that makes it easier to fight for change and implement fresh new ideas. Mars in Aquarius has a tendency to fight for
the underdog, be more idealistic and will undoubtedly cause us to be even more
reliant on the Internet and social media.
It is characterized by the qualities of being more humanitarian,
radical, unique and revolutionary. This
transit of Mars in Aquarius may be our ticket to conquering the Coronavirus, so
I say bring it on.
But on March 31, 2020, we do hit an astrological speed bump
with Mars in Aquarius when it conjuncts Saturn in 0 degrees of Aquarius. Mars Saturn aspects are very challenging, as
I can attest to courtesy of my own natal Mars Saturn square. A Mars Saturn conjunction can play out as
providing the stamina and patience to complete difficult tasks because this one
occurs in a fixed sign, and this could be a positive manifestation. But the shadow side of this aspect is that it
can ignite our darkest desires. Mars
conjunct Saturn can trigger feelings of anger, resentment or a desire for
revenge. A major theme of this aspect is
to make us more cautious and conservative because it is accompanied by fear and
tension. Quite literally, Mars conjunct Saturn can feel like driving a car with
the brakes on. It has a tendency to put a hold on forward progress by blocking
and obstructing it. But fortunately, the
effects of this challenging aspect will dissipate by the end of the week. I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear more news
about the Coronavirus peaking during the coming week.
If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. I have recently revised my menu of services
and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer
you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that
occurred on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you. It’s not too late to purchase this reading
because its effects will be felt for most of 2020. It can be purchased through
my site at:

Additionally, I have also decided to offer private astrology lessons in person or by telephone.

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I
love, so I decided to create a new combination reading which offers the option
of a 30 minute astrology consultation with a one question tarot reading for
only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can
accommodate any budget.
My site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation
in the amount of your choice to demonstrate your support for my blog and daily
astrological insights on Twitter at:
A
contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part
of my spiritual practice.
Recently I undertook an intensive life purpose coaching
training program and became certified as a Life Purpose Coach. It was an intense, eye-opening experience
that changed my life as it caused me to reflect on the story of my life. But I left it with feelings of hope and light
for the future that I want to share with others. To that end, I am now offering Life Purpose
Coaching to my menu of services. You can

As an astrologer, I have decided to include an interpretation
of the north node by sign. If you are feeling stuck and need some help in
getting from Point A to Point B in your quest for making positive changes in
your life, please email me at lindasim54@gmail.com
to schedule a complementary telephone consultation to discover if you are a
good fit for this program. I look
forward to hearing from you.
I am also available for tarot readings by telephone. I use the Celestial Tarot Deck, which I love
because it contains so many astrological symbols. A tarot reading is another great option for
obtaining insight and clarity.

The coronavirus outbreak is causing me
to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people are
concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my
in-person Reiki sessions in order to practice social distancing. A distant Reiki session is the perfect
opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have contracted
coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your home. My
procedure is to have a conversation with a client about what they hope to
achieve from a session, we set up a time for the session to take place when
they will be in a state to receive healing energy and I follow up with a
telephone conversation to discuss their experience and my perception of their
blockages. I have also incorporated a
new technique with my distance Reiki treatments since I don’t always have a
photo of my client. I use a teddy bear
so that I can scan and focus the healing energy where it is needed. If this
appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at
617-304-2205. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is $30. For your convenience, I accept PayPal and Venmo as forms of
payment.

I
was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online
publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local
entrepreneurs on its home page. The
Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so
my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects. Please feel free to check it out:

I
urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the
protective measures of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social
distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth and stay home if you are
sick. I have found myself exercising at
home and going out for more walks when the weather is nice. Stay safe and
healthy, everyone!
